1
Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.
2
And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.
3
Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,
4
Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.
5
And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging.
6
And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.
7
And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.
8
For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.
